  • After our morning trip to Hollywood Studios, Brennan and I drove home to freshen up and get our bags for a Disney resort staycation! We've been wanting to go camping together for years, so we did finally did it at Fort Wilderness Resort and Campgrounds! We only stayed for one night to experience the amenities and chance the weather, but I can say with absolute certainty that we'll be back! We explored the resort by walking, roller blading, and taking the bus, enjoyed a BBQ dinner at P&J's Southern Takeout, and ended the day with s'mores! The following morning I made breakfast on my new propane stove, and we then packed up the campsite and made a final trip to the boat launch and new horse ranch location before checking out and heading to pick up Arlo at Brennan's parents! Thanks for watching and we'll see you soon!

    Hey now there's nothing wrong with alil bit of comfort, you want full camping experience you should goto ginnie Springs, we went twice first time we had fun but allot of problems inside the tent, space and hot, next time we went we got bigger tent better bed a fan a portable dvd player for at night,and a brighter light, much better experience when you really prepare, even if you think it's kinda silly to bring, bring it, there's others who are bored in their tents at night, but dvds and lots of snacks and drinks and comfort items, can't go wrong!!!

    you are supposed to have the aprp all the way under the tent, not sticking out at the corners. it is supposed to keep water from touching the floor of your tent, if any of it is sticking out, it will funnel the water under your tent instead of under the tarp.

      When I was there I heard security removing a gator at the next campsite in the middle of the night. I was warned not to walk my little dog near the edge of the water. This is true all over Florida. I did not see many tent campers. It’s very hot so if you do tent camp bring a fan. Even tent campsites have electric outlets and water. I had a small RV for me and a tent for my son. He bought a stand up air conditioner and put the vent hose out the door. It worked great. It hit 105 in July so ya it was a good idea. I would not want to walk the parks all day and try to sleep in a hot tent. Another luxury I brought was a little portable ice maker. Disney charges for ice and we used the ice maker all the time. They cost about $100 and work great. Another tip if you get back from the parks and you don’t feel like cooking the only place open will be at the campfire movie. They have a food truck there.

I panicked and rode to the trading post to report a lost dog. They immediately went into alert mode. With in 5 minutes I got a call on my phone. They found him at the dog park. They knew how upset I was and even sent someone to check on me and my dog the next day. They brought me 3 fastpasses and they were wonderful. The security is there but discrete.
